[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were all moved from local remote to telework after the pandemic. It was easy even though we had our home address and not the office. [b]The agency had given up space so the operations team had to figure out they days that different groups could come in.[/b] We still have telework with core in office days.

No one knows what will happen, but you should take the time to prepare to be in the office and update your resume. Control what you can and the rest will happen so no point in worrying.[/quote]

I think this is what the Trump administration doesn't realize. You can't reduce office space to save money and then require people back in 5 days a week. My own company did a similar thing and people have nowhere to sit. I wouldn't worry too much OP. They clearly have no plan other than to make people quit/retire.[/quote]

Is the plan to ultimately reduce the workforce? That is what friend’s private sector company is doing. They started RTO in October. Not everyone can find a desk. Desks are first come, first serve. Some sit on couches and the equivalent of waiting room chairs to work. It sucks for sales people and others who have to make a lot of phone calls. Monitors and chairs are not all fully functional (eg, she said the monitor might not stay upright and you’d have to lower your seat or slouch to see the screen properly.)[/quote]

This doesn’t make sense to me at all. Surely what you described will negatively affect earnings. Yes, they will lose workers but it’s a short term financial benefit and they don’t get to choose which workers leave.

It seems like a lot of large companies adopting this model will not do well in the long term. [/quote]
